Discover Few and Far Between, a magically surreal novel by award-winning author Jan Carson. This literary alternative history transports readers to the Lough Neagh Archipelago in the summer of 2017, where the last remaining residents face an imminent eviction. A planned flood, designed to combat a devastating algae outbreak, will submerge their homes, forcing them to return to the Mainland after fifty years of isolation. Follow the journey of Robert-John and Marion Connolly, who arrived on the islands as children in the 1970s with their anthropologist father, seeking a utopia free from the prejudices and history of Troubles era Northern Ireland. However, this idyllic existence may not be as perfect as it seems. Accustomed to their haunted life on the Ark, they monitor the mysterious Far Side, a place where ghostly figures linger and secrets are buried deep within the land. This novel delves into the challenges of adapting to a new life on the Mainland, the possibility of leaving the past behind, and whether the Ark will ever truly let them go. Praised for its imaginative, whimsical, mischievous, brave, tender, and curious storytelling, Jan Carson is celebrated as a unique and special writer, one of the greatest modern fabulists and an exciting and original Northern Irish writer of her generation. For fans of Mariana Enriquez and Julia Armfield, Few and Far Between offers a captivating narrative exploring history, identity, and redemption, wrapped in Carson's signature blend of humor and grace. This large paperback edition is priced at €17.50 and features the ISBN 9781529936766. It has 19 items in stock and is a perfect choice for those who appreciate surreal and thought-provoking literary fiction.
